Tracts for the Times, No. 90
Author: John Henry NewmanThe Oxford Movement in Practice
Author: George HerringPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198769334
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
From its inception what came to be known as the Oxford Movement was always intended to be more than just an abstruse dialogue about the theoretical nature of Anglicanism. Instead, it was meant to spread its ideas not only through college common rooms, but also bishop's palaces, and above all the parsonages of the Church of England. The Oxford Movement in Practice presents an analysis of Tractarianism in the generation after Newman's conversion to Roman Catholicism. While much scholarly work has been done on the Oxford Movement between 1833 and 1845, and on a number of specific individuals or aspects of the Movement after this period, this work adopts a different approach. It examines Tractarianism in the parochial setting, and charts the development of the Movement through its influence on the parishes of the Church of England. George Herring offers detailed explanation of the development of ritualism in the 1860's, and shows how the Ritualists diverted the course the Movement had been taking from 1845.

The Whole Christ
Author: Sinclair B. FergusonPublisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433548038
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Since the days of the early church, Christians have struggled to understand the relationship between two seemingly contradictory concepts in the Bible: law and gospel. If, as the apostle Paul says, the law cannot save, what can it do? Is it merely an ancient relic from Old Testament Israel to be discarded? Or is it still valuable for Christians today? Helping modern Christians think through this complex issue, seasoned pastor and theologian Sinclair Ferguson carefully leads readers to rediscover an eighteenth-century debate that sheds light on this present-day doctrinal conundrum: the Marrow Controversy. After sketching the history of the debate, Ferguson moves on to discuss the theology itself, acting as a wise guide for walking the path between legalism (overemphasis on the law) on the one side and antinomianism (wholesale rejection of the law) on the other.
“This Is My Doctrine”: The Development of Mormon Theology
Author: Charles R. HarrellPublisher: Greg Kofford Books
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 598
Book Description
The principal doctrines defining Mormonism today often bear little resemblance to those it started out with in the early 1830s. This book shows that these doctrines did not originate in a vacuum but were rather prompted and informed by the religious culture from which Mormonism arose. Early Mormons, like their early Christian and even earlier Israelite predecessors, brought with them their own varied culturally conditioned theological presuppositions (a process of convergence) and only later acquired a more distinctive theological outlook (a process of differentiation). In this first-of-its-kind comprehensive treatment of the development of Mormon theology, Charles Harrell traces the history of Latter-day Saint doctrines from the times of the Old Testament to the present. He describes how Mormonism has carried on the tradition of the biblical authors, early Christians, and later Protestants in reinterpreting scripture to accommodate new theological ideas while attempting to uphold the integrity and authority of the scriptures. In the process, he probes three questions: How did Mormon doctrines develop? What are the scriptural underpinnings of these doctrines? And what do critical scholars make of these same scriptures? In this enlightening study, Harrell systematically peels back the doctrinal accretions of time to provide a fresh new look at Mormon theology. “This Is My Doctrine” will provide those already versed in Mormonism’s theological tradition with a new and richer perspective of Mormon theology. Those unacquainted with Mormonism will gain an appreciation for how Mormon theology fits into the larger Jewish and Christian theological traditions.
Remaining Faithful in Ministry

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Perhaps no one else has ever faced as much hardship, opposition, or relentless suffering as the apostle Paul. And yet, through it all, Paul stood firm in Christ and remained faithful—to the very end. The power of Paul's example has captivated veteran pastor John MacArthur for years, and here he outlines nine unwavering convictions that contributed to this remarkable perseverance. In an age when pastoral failure and burnout are increasingly common, this book is a call to endurance in ministry, encouraging pastors to stand strong in their role and not lose heart, regardless of what God sends their way.
Perfective Unction
Author: Charles EdenPublisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Confirmation has sometimes been described as a sacrament in search of a theology. In Perfective Unction, theologian and bishop Jeremy Taylor embraces that search, carefully sifting through the wisdom of patristic theology, the prayers of liturgical manuscripts, and the authority of conciliar decrees. In this way, Taylor not only defends confirmation as a central, sacramental rite of the Christian life, but he also manages to model an Anglican theological method, one that takes seriously the example of the early church, even as it meets the heart of the individual believer with pastoral compassion and generosity. "This is that power from on high which first descended in Pentecost," Taylor writes of confirmation, and it is the mission of the Church to share this immense gift with the world. About the Author Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667) was born the son of a barber and died as Bishop of Down and Connor in Ireland. Known for his devotional writings, especially Holy Living and Holy Dying, Taylor can also be numbered among the Caroline Divines for his eloquent defense of many Anglican hallmarks--including episcopacy, liturgical prayer, and the riches of sacramental life. About the Editors Reginald Heber (1783-1826) was Bishop of Calcutta. In addition to editing Jeremy Taylor's Whole Works, he was a passionate hymn-writer, best known today for "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!" Charles Page Eden (1807-1885) served as a priest in the Church of England and contributed his skills as an editor to The Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology and Taylor's Whole Works. Eden is also the author of Tract 32, "The Standing Ordinances of Religion," in Tracts for the Times. About the Library of Anglican Theology Published by Seminary Street Press, the Library of Anglican Theology seeks to provide newly typeset editions of important works from the Anglican tradition for a wide array of contemporary readers--Christian laypeople, historians of the Church, seminary students, bishops, priests, deacons, catechists, and theologians. The Library will provide a rich foundation on which to build as Anglicans continue to theologically engage with the pressing questions of our time.
